# Redis

Redis Connection
----------------
For every application running, a dedicated redis namespace is created and this
namespace can be used exclusively by that application. This framework uses
[redis-py](https://redis-py.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) for managing redis
connections. The client can choose their own redis client library. The URL
to access the redis can be found in `cfg.CONF.redis.url`
(see [configs](configs.md)).

The redis connection from redis-py module can be accessed from

    aalam_common.redis.redis_conn

The redis commands are like methods call on the connection object, Ex,
`brpoplpush` command can be issued by

    aalam_common.redis.redis_conn.brpoplpush(src, dst, timeout=0)

The namespace for every application can be accessed by only that application.
The values in an application's namespace will not collide with other
application's keys.

Some commands like config_get, flushall, etc will not work.
